It will provide housing for 5-6 <br /> returning men and will be based on the Oxford House model in which each man will be <br /> responsible for securing jobs and contributing to the costs of their daily expenses. <br /> We are currently working to set up alliances with local churches to sponsor one individual in the <br /> housing program and to help both financially and socially as a hands-on mentor. These <br /> alliances will allow Reentry House to make this component of our program self-sufficient. It is <br /> our expectation that we will be ready to accept men into the house in September of this year. <br /> EDUCATION <br /> But we named our organization Reentry House PLUS. The PLUS component is our <br /> commitment to education and support to assure higher probability of success in reentry into <br /> local society. <br /> This educational component is possible due to an alliance with the SWIT team led by Tommy <br /> Green, CHW, PSS (NC FIT)! and William Elmore, Outreach Specialist (Reintegration Support <br /> Network). These men are past felons who have returned to local society as certified counselors <br /> currently working for county and other non-profit organizations. Their program has been <br /> successfully run for over 9 months with over 30 participant successes. Now they are ready to <br /> ramp up their efforts with an alliance with Reentry House Plus providing the facility and overall <br /> support and guidance. <br /> Each teaching session contains up to 20 participants and is comprised of several classes taught <br /> over a one-month period. One new element to the program includes a computer teaching lab <br /> set up in the Reentry House in which job-related skills are taught. <br />
